1964 Map of Miltonvale

About this map

Miltonvale serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a well-established plains community where education and infrastructure intersect. The presence of Miltonvale Wesleyan College and the Miltonvale Cem reflects the town's social and historical roots, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad bisects the landscape, providing a critical link for the regional economy. The topography is defined by the winding course of Chapman Creek and its tributary, West Chapman Creek, which carve through the townships of Starr, Oakland, and Sherman. Outside the residential core, the map reveals industrial and utility markers including Gravel Pits and a Radio Tower, alongside the rural Mt Liberty Cem near the southern boundary. This record captures the transition of the Kansas prairie into a modern agricultural and collegiate landscape just before the late 20th century.
